“There is nothing wrong with learning wine through experience or through certified education. Keith saying that WSET is an expedited education to get in and out is far from the truth and depending on who you ask WSET has a harder blind testing requirements to become a Master of Wine as opposed to a Master Sommelier. WSET 4 diploma also takes many years of studying to pass and is no easy feat. At worst this comes across as dumping on the WSET program and at best it comes across as an uninformed opinion. Another wine podcast similarly has a host who has decades of bar experience, but has a chip on their shoulder when asked if they’re certified. You don’t need a special school or piece of paper to tell you that you know things, but it can be helpful to have people in the industry on a similar conversational level.
I had a wine rep who knows a lot about wine show me wines one day and out of curiosity I asked if the wine was made through carbonic maceration. I wasn’t trying to show off, but the wine had a lot of these characteristics and it is not common for this style of Italian wine to be made carbonically. He looked at me with confusion then gave an answer that made no sense. He knows farrrrr more than me about Italian wines. It was not supposed to be a trick question, but it made the interaction awkward because two of my coworkers were there and I thought it would be even more rude to explain. I just let it go and moved on.
Perhaps I’m being over critical for a podcast called 101.”

“I’ve been listening to the show for years now! Keith is such a great host and the structure of each episode is great. This has helped me incredibly on my own wine journey. I’d just remind Keith that Thomas Jefferson might have been important to US wine, but he was a slave-owning trash human being...”Read full review »
